Rudy is our new go-to for airport transportation! We live up in Northern Escondido and had a great experience with Rudy. He confirmed the day before, arrived on time, took care of us getting to the airline, and assured us he would be there for pickup. He confirmed our pick up, was there on time to pick us up at the airport, but the airline was late with our bags (almost 2 hrs) and Rudy waited for us! Great service! read more

Incredible service!!! This was the perfect choice for getting to the airport. Rudy was very pleasant and professional. He was prepared for our needs related to luggage and timing for our international flight. We had arranged for pickup on our return to San Diego. Again, Rudy was right there as we stepped up to the curb, totally prepared as before. This is best way to manage airport travel - so much more convenient and personal than other travel options; and also, more economical. Certainly beats trying to park near the airport and deal with shuttles. Perfect transportation option! We'll be using Rudy's assistance in the future. read more

Rudy is amazing!!! On time, professional, friendly and gave GREAT SERVICE to my 86 year old mom and step dad from Oceanside to the airport and back. I have used this service for my family many times. Highly recommend!! And I'll continue using this company. BRAVO!! And thank you Rudy!! read more

For the first time I decided to use an airport car service locally. Did some research and decided to try Budget Transportation. Called them to get a quote and had to leave a message. I received a response within minutes, asking the zip code of my drop-off location because as with most cities there is usually more than one and that determines the rate. I received the quote and found it to be very competitive to other companies I contacted. Made the reservation and confirmed it the day before my return because I didn't want to be stuck at the airport. Now that would suck!! The company confirmed everything was still on and let me know they were only taking cash at this time, which was fine, and it allowed me time to get to an ATM before returning. Was pleased to find a text from Rudy when I got off the plane and turned my phone back on. Letting me know he was in the area and provided a picture of the Chrysler 300 he was driving. He asked that I text him when I left baggage claim and after I did, he was there within minutes (I'm assuming he was waiting in the cell phone lot). Upon his arrival I met and received a friendly greeting from Rudy. I found the car to be very clean and comfortable. Rudy was a very good driver and I felt comfortable with his driving the whole way. You never know what someone you don't know might do behind the wheel. If in the future I need a car service I will definitely call Budget Transportation and would recommend them to family and friends. read more

We had an incredible experience with Rudy. The SD airport is undergoing construction and didn't have any parking available and it was the day before our flight so we were in a bind. We have two kids that required car seats so our transportation options were pretty limited. I was desperate and texted Rudy to see if he was available and he was prompt in his response. Rudy's pricing was the best I've seen and he was very professional. We installed our car seats in his car, he stored it for us while we were gone, and came to pick us up with them. Everything was so smooth! We had a flight delay coming back and he texted me to let me know that our flight was delayed and that he was tracking our flight. Everything was so smooth and professional. Rudy is the best - we will always opt to hire him go forward for our transportation needs! read more

when it comes to the San Diego airport, the budget transportation is the first choice for you. it's very affordable, reliable and on time. I highly recommend it to you. read more

I literally have 0 complaints about Reda (aka Rudy) & his transportation service. First & foremost, he was prompt in getting back to me when I asked to book rides to & from the airport (live in Vista). He was always professional & friendly in all his communication with me. As someone who cares about things like safety, not only did he always wear a mask, but I didn't once feel nervous in his vehicle (which is often the case with any ride service). His car was clean, smelled nice, and background music was low & not obnoxious. He read the room well & chatted when I chatted, silent when I was silent. To top it off, he was early in picking me up, which as someone who has anxiety traveling, was an added bonus for me! He even arrived to pick me up on time, despite my flight arriving early & traffic being a nightmare due to the holidays & construction at the airport. Will definitely use again read more

We had an early morning flight during Labor Day weekend. I saw some tips to schedule a ride with Uber or Lyft in advance, but I was worried my driver would be late or worst...cancel l...on the morning of and leave us stranded. I found Rudy from Budget Transporation. I called him and he gave me a quote of $39 from PB to the airport, before tip. I went ahead and scheduled it with him. The night before my ride, Rudy texted me to confirm our ride for the next morning at 5:30 am. On the day of our departure, Rudy showed up right on time, and we were swiftly on our way. While the ride was more expensive than a Lyft or Uber, I was willing to pay more to ease my mind. Plus I heard a typical $20 ride through Lyft or Uber from PB ended up surging a lot in the morning so you end up paying double. Thank you Rudy! read more

This company owner cussed me out, threatened to take my life into his own hands and then blocked me. This is a terribly unsafe individual that needs to be shut down and followed up with a Police investigation. Update: My reviews in the business owner's reply are based on two different experiences. Unfortunately, this business was the one that cussed me out and left the worst taste. This one star review remains indefinitely due to the negative experience your company caused. This is a Final Peace and Farewell because I will not argue with someone. read more

Reliable affordable transportation to the airport for a 7am flight. It doesn't get better than that.

Great company! Helped get elderly parents from airport. Such a smooth transaction. Parents were very happy to.I!

This was my first time using this service and happy to report it was a wonderful experience! Rudy helped me and my elderly father get to the airport safely and surely. Rudy arrived early, was careful with our luggage, and was thorough in contacting me on our return flight and picking us up from the airport, as well. I previously used Super Shuttle (peace out SS) for these trips, but had I known then what I know now...I'd have chosen Budget Transportation and Rudy every single time. Kudos!! read more

I chose this company based on Yelp reviews and they were totally correct. Prompt. professional, cordial service. Very diligent about texting you and keeping you in the loop. He takes cash only, so check the price for your trip on the 'Rates' page, add a 20% tip, bring that much and you are golden. read more

He was on time and the vehicle was clean. That is the only positive. When we got to the airport I found that the doors and windows were liked w en with the car in park. Also the quote was $55. It I was charged $67. Bring locked in the car I was to afraid to question it read more

Dude, let me tell you how amazing and chill Rudy was. First off, I called him when he was at a wedding and asked me to text him. Sure, fine, that helps me as well because I like to have proof I sent people things. 2nd off, my flight out of San Diego was canceled the same day I was to fly out...I texted Rudy and he worked with me as I booked another flight. And to top it all off, my flight back to San Diego was also canceled! (I had that luck.) I kept Rudy in the loop and he was willing to pick me up the next morning. His car was also clean and he wore a mask the entire time, which was considerate as well. 100% recommend. read more

I have never experience a better transportation service than Budget. I contacted Budget a week in advance and they contacted me on the morning of our flight to confirm our pickup time, location and destination. We arranged for them to pick us up on our arrival back with the same results.They were on time, professional and very reasonably priced. It is so comforting to know that you have dependable airport service. It makes traveling much easier. I will never use any other service. Dennis B. read more

Rudy was awesome- on time and very courteous. Days before he confirmed the time my flight was arriving. The car was clean and plus it's just nice to be picked up in a luxury car from the airport. I really liked that he gave me rates for the round trip airport pickup and drop off to my hotel within 15 min. The other companies asked me to fill out an online form, but I wanted the info right away. His rates were very reasonable and I highly recommend him. read more

This vendor/driver provided excellent service! He was prompt in replying to all our messages. He was prompt arriving to pick us up. His price is very reasonable! We highly recommend Mr Rude! read more

A friend had a late night arrival (11pm) in San Diego (from Houston), and I called around to try and find transportation. The guy who answered here sounded very polite, knowledgeable, and more importantly he sounded like someone who wanted my (or anyone's) business and was ready to do his job. I made the arrangements. He picked up my friend, luggage, and took them several miles north to their hotel. He was on time, drove well, friendly - everything you would expect. Not sure if it's okay to give his name here - so I will just say it started with an "R". If you are anywhere near San Diego or North County and need to arrange a scheduled reliable transportation (ie. you can't take the chance that there might not be a cab available) - then these are your guys. Affordable service worth twice their price. read more

So we go to Idaho a lot (like once a month). About every third time we fly. I hate trying to bum rides off people, and the airport parking is so expensive. So I looked into off-site parking. It was cheaper, but a lot of complaints. So we called this company. It was great. For the same price as off-site parking a nice man named Rudy showed up at our door in a classy Chrysler 300. What I liked about him was, when we wanted to chat, he talked. But when we were quiet, he shut up. And we didn't have to worry about our car in a strange lot. He picked us up when we got back, right on time. I meant to write this review sooner, but spaced it. But I'm going to be using him again in a few weeks, so wanted to get this out there. Great service. read more

Another great airport transportation trip with Rudy of budget Transportation. Always on time , great communication, very clean vehicle Mercedes SUV . Can't ask for more no driving home after long plane flights . read more

Needed an early morning ride to the airport from Coronado after a conference. Ruda responded quickly to my email the day before and arrived a few minutes early. Clean car, nice guy, pleasant conversation and easy payment and receipt. I come to San Diego every year for this conference and will be using this service again. read more

We booked Budget Transportation due to the great reviews we had read. We were so glad we did. We needed transportation for four adults from our cruise ship to Seaworld and then picked up again at Seaworld later in the day and brought back to the cruise ship. Rudy was on time & courteous. A very clean classy vehicle. His price was very reasonable but his service was excellent!!! Thank you Rudy for a time!!!!! read more

I have used Budget Transportation a couple times and would highly recommend their service!! Our driver showed up at our home about 5 minutes early and was very nice. We will be using them again in the very near future!! Rudy was not our driver last time but he is very prompt with giving quotes and responding to emails. read more

A little pricey, but well worth it! Driver arrived on time and the van was very clean. He assisted my husband with both putting the luggage into the vehicle, as well as removing them at the airlines curbside check in. If you are looking for something reliable, safe and clean..do not look any further. I would HIGHLY recommend Budget Transportation. Thank you so much! read more

The car is very clean and comfortable. However be aware of the fees. It is confusing and a little misleading when he says $39 per hour. Be aware ! There are cheaper ones with the same quality out there in San Diego read more

Excellent, on-time, personable service. You will not be disappointed! Waited for my delayed flight and easily handled changes on my departure flight as well. read more

Unexpectedly, I had to find a ride to and from work just for the day and Budget Transportation answered right away when I called. They were friendly and professional and I would absolutely use them again. I was picked up in an immaculate BMW SUV by the owner of the company. He was very nice and professional and got me exactly where I needed to be on time. On my way home I had another great driver who even called to let me know he'd be a few minutes late due to traffic, which I really appreciated. He was also very nice and professional. And the cost was completely reasonable. I would absolutely use them again! read more

I recently needed a round trip ride from San Diego airport to Escondido, arriving on an evening flight and returning early morning a few days later. I had the same driver both directions, Reda "Rudy" was on time, polite, communicated well, and the car was comfortable and immaculate. To reassure me, he even emailed a photo of the car so I would know who was picking me up. I recommend this company to anyone seeking an airport ride with a reliable and professional driver. read more

Currently sitting in the back of a perfectly clean Mercedes SUV on my way to San Diego airport. Driver arrived 5 minutes early to collect me, and loaded my mass of luggage for me. Looked at a lot of different services before settling on these guys and glad I did, great price and A+ service could not be happier will definitely use them again read more

We used this service to take us to the airport in the predawn hours. They were on time and very capable. Car was immaculate and comfortable. Dropping us off he asked if we would need a ride home when we came back. Wow, hadn't even thought of that. So great to have that taken care of. Unfortunately our flight was changed, then delayed, then cancelled. We ended up arriving very weary and there was our driver, ready and waiting for us. What a great service! Highly recommended!!! read more

Great experience! Followed flight delays and was waiting for us when we arrived. No extra fee if traffic is bad. Very reasonable!

Got picked up in a Mercedes SUV. Driver was early, courteous and professional. Highly recommend.

Contacted Budget after reading positive reviews on Yelp. Used Budget on Friday, July 27th. A late model Mercedes SUV was clean and impressive. Rudy was great assistance helping up find a spot at a crowded airport to load our luggage. Rudy and Budget were very courteous and professional. Highly recommend. read more

Punctual. Clean car. Good driver. Helped with luggage. Patient with our family of 4, little ones included. Good communication. Friendly. Reasonably priced. Private vehicle, not shared. Priced by trip, not by number of passengers. Would recommend! read more

Best transport company used in lajolla, Rudy, the owner, was early for our early morning pick up, and six days later was at the airport tracking our flight. The car was clean and the ride was safe and uneventful, just the way I Like it. We will only be using him from this trip forward. So happy to have found someone so punctual and reliable. read more

Excellent service and transportation. We really appreciated the speedy communication with Rudy regarding our pickup, as our flight had been changed. Excellent company to do business with. Will definitely use them again. read more

This was the perfect choice for getting to the airport. Rudy was very pleasant and professional. He was prepared for our needs related to luggage and timing for our international flight.

Contacted Budget after reading positive reviews on Yelp. We did not want to deal with an extended parking lot near the airport again due to hassle and potential vehicle damage, etc. Rudy (I think I have his name right) is the owner and we booked a ride to the airport from Vista. He arrived a few minutes early and notified us he was out front. Car was a clean and well maintained Mercedes SUV. Rudy was professional and friendly. It was raining and his driving skills were top notch in what was not our typically perfect San Diego weather. His prices were reasonable and service overall was excellent. From now on it's Budget Transportation every time we travel out of San Diego Airport! Thanks Rudy! read more

Budget Transportation is absolutely our new go-to source for airport transportation. Santee to the airport, our driver was here 15 minutes early and let us know he was out front, no rush. I'll take early over late any day and since we were ready we had a relaxing drive in a practically new very roomy sedan. When we found out we'd need a pick up at the end of our trip, we called two days in advance and easily made an airport pick-up appointment. As we were taxiing in we received a text message letting us know our driver was ready and we should text or call him when we were at the curb. Did so and within five minutes a late model Cadillac pulled up and whisked us home in comfort. read more
